Anyways, it struck me as funny how we find these things (Xbox, Wii, playstation, etc.) so much fun when there is really NO point to doing them. There is absolutely nothing gained from playing Mario, but millions of people do it everyday. It’s just interesting I guess.

Well first of all, since when is having fun useless? Second of all many video games actually provide good problem solving skills.

War, Inc. mini review.

War, Inc. is what I thought was a spiritual successor to Grosse Point Blank, all the same actors are involved and Cusack is an assassin. What I got was a poor attempt at a Mel Brooks type film. It’s an over the top comedy that tries to take political jabs at the war, media, government, etc.

While I admit I only watched about 1/4th of the movie I found the satire to be uninteresting and unoriginal. Regardless if this was actually made by Mel Brooks it’d probably be a lot better. I feel as though it fell just short of what it was reaching for. On the other hand it may just be that a Mel Brooksian comedy doesn’t have a place in today’s film world.

Ridiculous

I can’t believe you can’t make custom smart bookmarks that will filter by tag. That just seems crazy to me. You can do all sorts of stuff with custom smart bookmarks but not find by tag. Hopefully this will be added soon.

Here’s the bug report for this, I can’t tell if it’s being worked on or not.

Is it too late to ask what in the heck is EuroCup?  I swear I have not heard about it before this year.

It’s like the World Cup but on the years of the summer, rather then winter, Olympics. Also it only involves European countries.

Yeah, and it’s not called the “EuroCup” either!  It’s the European Championships.

And England didnt even qualify :P

I’m really tempted to get this shirt, I really love Mad Men and I’m psyched that it’ll be coming back in about a month.

Amazon EC2’s disk performance is disappointing, even with the Large Instance’s advertised “High” I/O performance.

It’s fine for running webservers and anything that’s mostly CPU-bound, but it can’t keep up as a MySQL slave on a frequently-updated database.

Dont know that much about it, but wouldnt SimpleDB be more designed for that?

If President Bush was handling his own email a decade ago even though he has staffers who can take care of that sort of thing for him, why isn’t John McCain doing it now? I find it troubling when anyone isn’t curious enough about this whole Internet thing to try it out in this day and age. It’s kind of a big deal.
